Nairobi Hospital announced that its main facility continues to operate fully after the death of Kenya's first confirmed Ebola patient on Monday evening.

The patient, infected with the Bundibugyo strain, had been admitted to the hospital's dedicated isolation unit two days earlier, where a clinical team worked in coordination with the Ministry of Health.

The hospital emphasized that the isolation facility is physically separate from the main campus, with its own entrance, access route and staff, ensuring no shared clinical space with regular services.

Emergency care, maternity, operating theatres, wards and outpatient clinics have continued as normal, supported by the separate isolation unit that allows the main hospital to function alongside the response.

Infection‑prevention protocols include screening of all patients with infectious‑disease risk, followed by controlled isolation and management in the dedicated unit.

Hospital staff caring for the Ebola patient wore full protective equipment under supervision, and all identified contacts are being monitored for the required 21‑day period in coordination with the Ministry of Health.

National health authorities have traced 28 contacts linked to the patient, including family members and healthcare workers, and are also tracking 23 passengers and four crew members from the same flight.

The hospital pledged to keep working with the Ministry of Health and other public‑health bodies, implementing any additional measures advised to contain the virus.
